As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes markets, KPMG Luxembourg is doubling down on client relationships — investing in people, appointing eight new leaders and using technology to deliver more-targeted, outcome-driven services and stronger human connections that clients value.  This approach emphasizes that technology should support, not replace, the relationships that are key to business success.

The following eight leaders are joining KPMG’s partnership team:
